Pretty good compensation, usually hit bonus target, subsidized lunches, nice campus. If you like job security and not a lot of stress, you can be a lifer here.

Cons

Glacial development cycles driven by Walldorf (German HQ) mean that it's difficult to make any sort of impact. SAP does not understand how to really manage innovation and how to do things quickly. Also, there is lots of dead wood here - the people that actually make things happen either become executives (in a few cases) or leave to go somewhere where it's easier to actually do something (most cases).

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Figure out how to innovate more quickly; your vision is muddled by too much complexity. Look no further than SAP slide decks for a symptom of your problem - they are wordier than a lot of novels. If you can't articulate issues succinctly, it shows a lack of clarity in your thinking.
